VOL XXVI, NO. 24

DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT

The second public entertainment
sponsored by the Strathmore Drama-
tic Club was quite an ambitious und-
ertaking and the success achieved is
very gratifying to the promoters.

A large number attended and that
the various Playa held the close at-
tention of all, was evidenced by the
general and frequent applause.

The Plays covered a very
tield,

1 Poor Maddalina, A Play from the
Land of Fantasy.

aL Homme Qui Epousa une
Femme Muette, (The man who mar-
ried a dumb wife). A Play from the
Middle Ages.

3 Followers, An adaptation from
Cranford of mid-Victorian period.

4 Suppressed Desires. A Modern
Batire.

We have been asked to give not a
eulogy but a fair criticism of the
Players and so with admitted limita-
tion, we proceed.

Taking the last
first, Suppressed Desires,

wide

Play presented,
Presented

Mrs French and ODr Giffen. One's
criticism can be a high eulogy. This
Play was exceedinily well given. The
Players looked and acted quite as
though living normally their respec
tive parts. Mrs White as the wife ful-
ly absorbed in and imbued with the
great good of Psycho-Analysis, for
everyone in every instance, irrespect-
ive of the result, drives her husband
Stphen Brewster to distraction, and
almost breaks up the erstwhile hap-
piness of their home.

On the arrival of her sister Mabel,
who comes for a visit, she at once
brings in her obsession of Psycho-
Analysis, with the inevitable result.
As long as the result of these influ-
ences remains in the abstract, all is
well and she pursues her obsession
with unabated zeal, but when the ef-
fect becomes concrete then there is
a different story to tell.

Norman Ellis acted the part of the
distracted husband exceedingly well,
and Mrs White by voice and manner
forcefully portrayed her keen ob-
session.

With Gladys Fessenden one forgets
she is impersonating, so fully does
she enter into the spirit of the char-
acter she is representing. One is
quite prepared to overlook the few
occasions of forgotten lines in the gen
eral excellence of the Play. By gener-
al consensus of opinion of those pre-
sent, Suppressed Desires Was the
mest cleverly performed of the four
Plays presented.

In choosing a Play the question

arises as to whether you wish one
possessing a@ lot of action or one
which dramatise a choice’ piece ol
Literature with little action or both
combined. In the second class _ is
Followers, @ Play adapted from the

novel Cranford. This Play was put on
by the Strathmore High School and
directed by Miss Gordon and Mr
Crowther. ‘The Play called for very
little action, the point having to be
“put over by vocal expression and
emphasis. The two principal charact-
ers in the piece were Col. Redfern
(Graham Tench) and Miss Baines or
Lucy (Alice May). That these two
young players iold their story in
euch a way that the audience could
not fail to grasp the repeated propos-
el] and the repeated refusal signifies
the force of their verbal acting. Whe-
ther you agree with Lucy and would
have said “No” after 25 years and ac-
cepted the stoical attitude and stern
significance of life depends not on
the actors on the stage but the actors
in the audience,

Margaret Freeman as Helen Mast-
ers and Mary Davidson as Susan per-
formed their parts equally well. They

were particularly feminine in their
views and looked most winsome.
The furnishing of the stage was

very attractive and evidenced a close
attention to minute detail, as did the
costumes, In Lucy‘s make up the
gray shadings on her face would have
been better omitted. The hush with
which the audience followed could be
felt and evidenced th force of the
acting.

L Homme Qui Epousa une Femme
Muette, (The man who married a
dumb wife), presented by the French
Club and directed by Miss Florence
Garrett, required the largest caste of
the four.

There was the judge Frederic Rid-

ley, his wife Alice Garrett, a lawyer .

Don Nicholl,
rett, two servants in the
household, Bernjce Whiteside

a doctor, Andrew Gar-

;and Norman Ellis. The costumes and}

staging were effective and very apro-
pos, and the make up so__ionatural as
not to attract attention. The Doctor's
assistants evidenced the truth of the
saying, “They also serve who only
stand and wait",

The parts of the two servants tho’
minor were very well taken, evidenc-
ing a repressed dignity, in their devo-
tion to their master. The part of the
busy Judge and the distress ie felt
for the affliction of his wife, were
well depicted. The lawyer acted as
the emissary for the Judge in bring-
ing word of the Doctor's arrival, At

un-
professional advertising of his medi-
cal ability and exceeding unethical
use of technical terms to ridicule the
medical profession by his glib recital

thereof and his equally absurd cures.

The rapidity with which these learn
ed and difficult terms rolled forth
must have required much practice be-
fore the recital could be made with
such volubility. That the operation on
the wife proves a curse rather than
a blessing and makes the victims
thereof willing to give up their hear-
ing rather than be harassed by the
constant chatter of the wife eviden-
ces the truth of the Biblical state-
ment, That it is better to live in a
corner of the house top than in a wide
house with a brawling woman, The
lines were well mastered and _ the
stage furnishing very effective,

Slower speech on the part of some
would have strengthened an other-
wise creditable production, As it
was much of the pithy humor was
lost to the audiencec, by the too rap-
id diction.

Poor Maddalina, was presented by
Ardenode Community and directed by
Alice Garrett and Norman Ellis,

When the curtain rises for this
pretty Fantasy, a very artistic stage,
with rose strewn trellis is revealed
which with the fairy like costumes of
the players, created a picturesque en-
semble. The players are Pierrette and
Maddalina, Vera Sarsons, Pierrot and
Paola, Wilfred Shariman and Bumba
Ted Hodson. It is a story of life in
the Land of Fantasy; then their ad-
venture into the realm of earth des-

pite the warnings of Bumbu. Here
they find life does not flow smaoth-
ly and is not one unbroken dream of
bliss and they return again to the
Land of Fantasy, where roses
have no thorns.

It was a picturesque playful enter-
tainment, In the first scene the
speeches were almost inaudible but
this was remedied in the second and
third, It would have helped greatly in
the voice coming over, had the actors
faced the audience more directly,

The too brilliant make up detracted
from an otherwise prettily staged
Fantasy.

Vera Sarsons was the recipent of a
pretty bouquet of flowers,

Mr W I McKenzie assisted by Max
Walls, Andrew Garrett and Ken
Wright, was stage manager and this
effective work added greatly to the
success of the presentation.

The following excellent
programme was given at the interval
between acts,

Mr G H Patrick sang in very good
form, The Green Eyed Dragon; A
Ghost lived in a Castle Grey; The
Limerick; The Yiddisher Irish Baby,
with Miss Garrett accompanying.

Mr Jas Gannon gave solos on both
the Clarionet and Saxaphone with Mrs
Hirtle at the piano,
